one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting
the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 2).

ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation
grills or ducts. You must provide two perma-
nent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling
and one within 12" of the floor. Connect these
items directly to the outdoors or spaces open
to the outdoors. These spaces include attics
and crawl spaces. Follow the
National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation
for required size
of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT:
Do not provide openings for
inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermo-
stat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering
the attic will activate the power vent.
